When be began the project on designing my own typeface, I had to design and create it relating to a specific theme. I chose to focus my design on the theme of 'Decay'.
From the beginning, I wanted to create typeface which represented a very basic idea of the the theme of Decay. I looked at all possible avenues that I could take into design consideration and ended up coming with some interesting concepts I could use.
I started looking at the idea of Decay throughout technology. I began taking photos as well as researching forms of decay in technology. The one aspect which kept coming up were computer keyboards. I found plenty of images of keyboards with decay, which then acted as a key influence for my work.
The idea for having my typeface created in the style of computer keys was quite unique to me. When in the creation process, I created the key design as well as the letter-forms which I had mapped out using graph paper. I was then to add the appearance of decay to the letter-forms afterwards.
I then started coming up with styles of decay I could incorporate into the letter-forms. I wanted to have a clear representation of the theme, but keep it in the style/representation of computers. i.e Pixels.
I messed around with one of the letter-forms with a basic pixel appearance of decay. When zoomed in, it didn't look like the standard I wanted it to be, but when zoomed out, the pixels came together to present the them in detail. I then went ahead and applied the feature to all of the letter-forms and punctuation symbols. The typeface was finally complete.

Conduit is a display font inspired by electricity pylon designs from around the world. Each letter has a sturdy, structured look, featuring latticed crossbeams and a thick angular outline.
Conduit is great for making an impact if used sparingly, but not so good for large bodies of text. It’s also well suited to larger sizes, showing off it’s detailed structure and utilising it’s bold design to the fullest.This is a clone

This font is based on the large "Family Feud" title, complete with grid lines, displayed on that game show's Fast Money board.
20120/07/05: I changed some of the letters after seeing the "Family Feud at Opryland" sign on the U.S. Game Shows Wiki:

I tried to replicate an old VCR font from various images and pieces of video online. A few of the letters and all of the symbols were entirely speculation.

EDIT: The 9 now looks like a 9!
Nice 'n narrow capitals. The lower-case characters are funky as well. They turned out better than I expected, haha!
Feel free to use it!

This is my first font, so I thought I would just make it free for everyone.
The font just consists of uppercase letters, no numbers, punctuations or lowercase letters.

Scifi font based on the Tesla Motors storefront. I wondered what a full font set based on that theme might look like. All caps, wide font, with open design and strong horizontal lines. This is my first font and I'm going to go ahead and publish it as it's pretty much done, but I might tweak it some as things go on.
If you use this font please drop me a line - I'd love to see how it's used in the wild... Hope you find this useful. Enjoy!This is a clone
